This recipe for piadina, flat bread comes from Romagna and is similar to the torta sul testo of Umbria. Traditionally piadina, a primitive or country bread is made with or without a little leavening like baking soda or yeast. The "recipe" varies from place to place, some using milk for the liquid in the dough while others use water or even white wine.
While strutto, rendered pork fat or lard is a common ingredient in the dough, olive oil has been used in the recipe. Piadina is often served with prosciutto, or other cured pork products of the region. Farina 00, Italian flour, was used to test the recipe and can be found in Italian specialty stores or unbleached all purpose flour can be used. The dough is easily made in a food processor.
